Sorry for the long delay been busy trying to finish house paperwork. I feed pe mysis normaly and I feed brine shrimp and a meaty frozen food can't remember name.

 

Ok. Mine loves meaty food as well, but also loves flake foods and pellets. So I usually feed him one of the following 3 everyday for lunch, and then a frozen meaty (or even herbivore food) every night:

Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 flakes
OSI Spirulina Flakes
New Life Spectrum Pellets

I have read that they do need some Spirulina in their diet at the very least. Since mine started to lose some of his color, I made more of an effort to get the herbivore/Spirulina food in his diet, as well as to feed him twice a day, and he is back to "full" coloring.

I am not positive if this is the reason, but either way it did not hurt! And, I also keep the tank at 76.6-77, and gave him 4" of sand, plus plenty of shells and objects to make his borrow with. So far, so good!

 

Thanks for the advice I will have to get some herbivore food for him

 

So I figured I would give a update he appears to be gaining all color back and is very active and brave again will leave his den to search for food and building material again.

 

Awesome! Glad to hear

 

Happy to hear the good news line! Such a cool little fish.
